“I'm so glad I booked with Caroline for my first time on Rover. She was super professional and thorough, great communication, and even took excellent photos of the kitties! Everything was in tip top shape when I got home. I would happily leave my babies in her care again.”

Susan W.

“I can’t recommend Rico enough as a great Rover. He went above and beyond when he was checking in on our dog and cat. He was responsive and thorough in getting prepared to drop in while we were on vacation.”

Josh B.

“Alexandra went above and beyond to take care of my cats. They can be hesitant about new people, but they warmed up to Alexandra quickly. Got plenty of great pics too! Highly recommend!”

Alan C.

“Madeline was great! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

“Run—do not walk—to book Paige for your pets’ needs. She will stand in your place when you can’t be with your them. She’s trustworthy, conscientious, and caring.”

“Heather did a great job with my 2 cats and managed to give medication to my anxious one. She communicated well and left things tidy. I would definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town!”

About: ❤️dogs! Had them since child, first one was Shepard mix, couple of pitbull terriers, my new buddy is a 2 yr old doberman named todoroki, we go on long walks all the time I currently work on the door dash app so my schedule is free during the day from about 7 am to about 4pm I usually deliver at night Lots of walks, I can take your puppy on the walk he desperately needs while your working never worry if your baby had an accident again

“Joey is amazing with all my animals. My Cane Corso takes special introducing and not everyone I introduce him to takes the job. He liked Joey from the first day. I actually have a little farmstead with several types of animals, including a horse, a goat, an emu, over 50 chickens and other types of fowl. I even feed some of the wildlife! Joey does all of it. I get great pics and I'm always so happy with the detailed list he leaves of all the chores and extras that he does. He even remembers things that I forget to mention sometimes! Number one call for me all the time is Joey. Besides, he gave me a very reasonable farmstead rate. I highly recommend this sitter, especially if you have animals not listed on Rover!”

Alexandra F.

“HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.”

About: I've been a foster and pet sitter for mostly greyhounds for the past 20 years, and have always had dogs of my own. I've gone through obedience classes and grooming, and am pretty good with most temperaments. I am very available and flexible, since I'm retired. I can come by during the day, including weekends and holidays, whatever works for you and your pet. Please note that I accept in-home stays that are a minimum of two nights. I can come to your home and stay, or visit to let your dog out, walk, or feed. Safety is a big factor and I'll do my best!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 40 years and currently share my home with three cats. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and small pets, including senior pets and those with medications or special routines. I’m calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and believe every pet deserves care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to offer dependable morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I treat every home with respect and carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, and any special instructions. I’ll keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

“Alyssa was great for Marm. She took pictures to assure us all was well. It gave us great peace of mind to know he was being cared for!”

About: Hi, I’m Marika! I’m a teacher, artist, mom, and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and learned from an early age the importance of daily walks, playtime, companionship, and responsible pet care. As an adult, I’ve shared my home with cats and currently care for multiple cats of my own. I offer cat sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking with a focus on kindness, reliability, and individualized care. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me that every pet is unique. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week.I understand how important routines are for pets and strive to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I do not offer pet care in my home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and make sure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and reliability.

About: Growing up, I had 4 dogs and a cat, seperated between households. More recently, I've been much more cat oriented since my partner is a lover of cats. I try to stay up to date on training research, and I'm big on communication! Your pet is your family member, and I want to know how to treat them best! I'm a freelancer so my schedule is always changing! I travel a lot both locally and further so making stops and changes in my plans are normal for me! I like to know exactly how you want your pet treated so expect lots of questions so I can ensure your pet feels safe and happy while their best friend (you) is away!

“This was our second time booking Cassidy, Charlie absolutely loves her. Charlie is normally a very nervous dog around people but he warmed right up to her the first time and the second time was no different. Cassidy is very attentive to what Charlie is doing and her communication is great!! We will definitely book her again!!”

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

About: A recent graduate of the Eastman School of Music, I'm currently playing with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra as a flutist! I've been missing my spunky dog Kora who lives back home and have always grown up with dogs, which is why I've been a sitter for Rover since I moved here in 2021. I love going for walks/runs, just hanging out, or lying next to my fireplace at home-- hopefully your dog loves some of these too! I've been taking care of dogs in total for around 15 years now, so I'm used to taking them out fairly frequently, getting up early for a morning walk, and bathing them. I am more than happy to take your dogs on a walk or watch them in my apartment, and make sure they're well-fed, have time to play, and are happy while you can go about your day :) I've raised my dog Kora from puppyhood and am very familiar with the training required for puppies. I have also fostered a handful of dogs (small dogs and one large dog) over the last few years and have experienced shy dogs who take some time to come out of their shells :) As a musician, I have a few hours here and there scattered throughout my day that I can walk or stop by/watch your pup. I'm a very active person and love being outside! I am more than happy to be outside/in your home with them as well! I unfortunately cannot house your furry friends because of my housing situation.

“Kyle has been amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and caring, and always goes the extra mile on walks. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone to hang with their pup throughout the day.”

About: I have loved dogs all my life, and would love the opportunity to care for and have fun with yours! I am kind, gentle and caring, and will be patient with your pet. I believe in positive reinforcement (I have experience successfully training dogs with this philosophy), so you can be confident when leaving your pup in my care. Former teacher turned audiology graduate student, I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pet. I believe in long walks and plenty of playtime to keep your dog engaged. I am very flexible, and will follow all instructions given as I believe wholeheartedly that you know your dog best. I look forward to working with you and providing the best care possible for your dog. I am currently in graduate school and will have plenty of time to play with your pups! Whether it's a drop-in or daily walks, my schedule is flexible. I have experience training dogs to a high standard of behavior and will use positive reinforcement only. I believe cultivating a safe, positive environment is crucial for a pet's wellbeing!
